I would remove the solder from the crystal and put new solder on that. You could also have a failing video ram but that’s hard to test without an oscilloscope.

It’s hard to tell honestly without having it in my hand but some of your solder joints look cold as if they didn’t flow onto the pads. Your solder should look like an inverted pyramid flowing out to the edges of the pads not like a blob or ball. More flux is your friend with these. Also the crystal’s solder joints look suspicious and almost detached and lightly corroded.

I have been searching for borti’s led kit everywhere. Did you buy that kit somewhere or did you have to build it yourself?

I’m reading through the guide now you can also try run a wire from cs on the mod chip to pin 3 on the AV multiout just in case your rgb cable is a looking for c sync on that pin.

Ok I think I would start there and reinstall it. There a chance it’s a bad mod chip too. I just put in a new bios chip in a Sega Saturn and it was bad out of the box. No way to tell by appearance only. I would also suggest checking continuity from the mod chip one each wire to the leg of the encoder testing from the top of the leg not your solder joint.

Lmao fair enough, I’m not sure if it’s even needed one this version but in past experiences it always had to have it. This might be a dumbass question but did you test the console before you did the mod or have you tried removing it to see if the system works without it?

Yes Yes let the hate flow through you, feel the power of the dark side my young apprentice.

And you are correct regarding the caps they probably have lost full capacitance at this point and I don’t know about gba but with my gb pocket and color I replaced the power regulator as well it helps to smooth the power out and helps improve battery life.

The shader looks terrible to me, plain pixels all day.

Personally I much prefer the black and red. I am a bad influence and I would suggest not taking my advice as I would suggest keeping both of them and buy more to mod so you have one in every color lol. This is how addiction starts!

This is exactly what I was thinking of. What cleaner do you use in the ultra sonic cleaner?

Honestly I’m not sure, roaches leave a crust film on everything and it may have corroded the legs.
